A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Board Certified Family Practitioner, and Board Certified Medical Bariatrician utilizing low-carb ketogenic diets with patients named Dr. Adam Nally is our guest today in Episode 948 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Finding a good doctor who understands the key role that nutrition plays in their patient's health can be extremely challenging nowadays. Since most medical professionals are lucky if they've had just a few hours to two weeks worth of education on the role diet plays in health during their medical school training, many don't know how to adequately help their patients dealing with chronic health problems like diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cholesterol and weight management. These topics are all a passionate focus of attention by a Surprise, Arizona-based family medicine practitioner named Dr. Adam Nally from Nally Family Practice. He blogs about how he routinely uses a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet to help his patients maximize their health where all other forms of traditional medicine has failed. He blogs at DocMuscles.com and is one of the strongest medical proponents of ketogenic diets you'll ever hear.

Dr. Nally was invited by our host Jimmy Moore to be one of the featured speakers on the 2014 Low-Carb Cruise which we shared on this podcast a couple of months back. But the video and audio footage with Dr. Nally became corrupted and unusable. To remedy that, Jimmy invited Dr. Nally to come on the podcast today for a fresh interview that we know you're gonna love. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Nally have a fascinating chat about the role ketogenic diets play in improving health.

Nutritional consultant, radio personality, public speaker, and author Pam Killeen is our guest today in Episode 947 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Modern society has grown increasingly more and more messed up in terms of human sexuality in recent decades and the trend line is quite disturbing to nutrition and natural health proponent Pam Killeen (listen to her back in Episode 435). In her three decades of working with clients, Pam has noticed such a huge increase in infertility impotence, erectile dysfunction, PMS, hot flashes, miscarriages, birth defects, and other signs of a disturbance in human survival that she's concerned that the future of mankind may be heading for extinction. It's a controversial subject matter to be sure and she's outlined her reasons for thinking this way in her engaging new book entitled Survival of the Unfittest: How Wisdom Will Save Humans from Falling into Extinction.

Listen in as Jimmy and Pam discuss why we're seeing problems with sexuality today, why libido-enhancing prescription pills aren't the answer to sexual woes, how the proliferation of online pornography has corrupted human relationships, the ramifications of decades of poor nutrition on the second or third generations of children that have followed, the serious concerns of being a vegetarian, the estrogen-mimicking chemicals that are wreaking havoc on sexual health, her own battle with chronic fatigue that she overcame and is now able to help others (especially our youth) beat it as well, and why the subject of sex is so taboo no book publisher would even touch her book. This is an incredibly important topic to discuss even if it is uncomfortable for some. Listen in and find out what we can do to survive this sexual decline.

Naturopath, Chiropractor, and Functional Medicine podcaster Dr. Carri Drzyzga is our guest today in Episode 946 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Interest in functional medicine is on the rise as more and more patients are becoming frustrated by the lack of answers from conventional medicine. For an Ottawa, Ontario-based naturopath, chiropractor, and health podcaster named Dr. Carri Drzyzga, she sees functional medicine as the future of mainstream healthcare. Dr. Carri helps her patients at Functional Medicine Ontario and communicates alternative health messages through her popular "The Functional Medicine Doc" podcast. She has seen so many patients dealing with the same issues regarding energy and fatigue that she wrote a book about it entitled Reclaim Your Energy and Feel Normal Again! Fixing the Root Cause of Your Fatigue With Natural Treatments. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Carri have a fascinating conversation about these issues and more!

Ontario, Canada-based nephrologist, weight loss, and diabetes health expert Dr. Jason Fung is our guest today in Episode 945 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

We have a serious problem with the way we look at and treat people with Type 2 diabetes around the world. This is of great concern to a nephrologist and nutritional health practitioner with a focus on diabetes named Dr. Jason Fung. He's from Intensive Dietary Management in Scarborough, Ontario where patients are put through various protocols to help them control their disease naturally and without the knee-jerk need for medications. Dr. Fung has shared some very enlightening video lectures on YouTube (see below) where he makes the case that you can reverse diabetes through nutritional protocols to get to the root of the insulin resistance that causes it. He's a big believer that it's not about controlling blood sugar, but rather insulin levels. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Fung go into detail about how diabetes is being treated and what we can do to bring about real change. Don't miss this compelling conversation!

Ketogenic ultra marathon runner Zach Bitter is our guest today in Episode 944 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

There's this common perception in the athletic world that in order to fuel your exercise performance, you must load up on high amounts of carbohydrates. But in recent years, a new trend has emerged where long-distance runners are turning to a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet to give them a longer, more steady source of energy during their races. We previously shared an interview with Western States 100-mile Endurance Run record holder Timothy Allen Olson in 2013 discussing how switching to an LCHF approach improved his race-day symptoms and endurance issues. Today we present another ultra marathon runner named Zach Bitter who has competed in 24 events and holds the 12 Hour World Record, 100 mile American Record, and 200k American Record. Additionally, he's a two time National Champion (50 mile road 2012, and 100k road 2014) as well as a member of USA's 2014 100k World Championship Team, which won gold in Doha, Qatar and placed 6th overall.

Listen in to hear Jimmy and Zach discuss his old diet prior to discovering LCHF, his work with Dr. Jeff Volek fine-tuning his diet, the wide variability of carbohydrate intake according to the individual, why running faster races like a 5k doesn't necessarily mean needing higher carb consumption, and a whole lot more. If you are someone interested in the relationship between low-carb nutrition and endurance races, then you won't want to miss what Zach has to share in this interview.

Paleo food bloggers and bestselling cookbook author Bill Staley And Hayley (Mason) Staley is our guest today in Episode 943 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Naturopath and autism specialist Dr. Shauna Young is our guest today in Episode 942 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Interests: About 15 seconds after I started posting on social media about the book, someone came on and said “Nothing will cure autism. It’s here to stay”. This is the mindset that has to be reversed! To that end, I put together some talking points.

I cannot stress how important it is that people understand that this is not a “theory” that could happen. These case studies have ALREADY happened.

In order to do that, I think we should focus on the case studies. Maybe pick a few of your favorites and we can discuss them in more depth. Also see the chapter on “Setting the bar”. That has proved to be a very powerful image.

The Protocol has for years and WILL CONTINUE TO BE available for free download at noharmfoundation.org The book of course goes more into depth, but the Protocol is still there for free. However PLEASE ask that people leave a donation (even a dollar!) if they download the Protocol. If we had a dollar for every download we’ve had we would be in much better shape to help more people, as it has been downloaded more than 10,000 times in over 70 countries.

Stress that I am not in private practice right now, as I thought it was more important at this time to spread the word about this Protocol. They can send questions through the NoHarm Foundation (that I am medical director of) but the book should answer 99% of their questions. Once we have some funding through NoHarm we can answer more questions, but for now it is a small unpaid staff.

We have a video on YouTube that chronicles a child I worked with called “Dr. Shauna Young’s television appearance on EcoSense”. Go to YouTube and search for “Assertive Wellness” to get to our channel.

Doctorate in Physical Therapy, nutritional biochemist, and functional endocrinologist Dr. Tim Jackson is our guest today in Episode 941 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

There are so many complex issues in the realm of health that it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with it all. That's why we try to find experts who can explain these sorts of ideas in language that makes sense to the layperson. Today's interview guest is certainly one of those--Dr. Tim Jackson from HealYourBody.org. He is a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) who quickly realized his training was limited in truly helping improve the health of the patients he was seeing. That's when he started studying functional medicine looking into digestive health, nutrition, and functional endocrinology which all remain a strong passion. Listen in as Jimmy and Dr. Jackson discuss the details about functional endocrinology, digestive health, epigenetics/MTHFR, chronic infections, mold toxicity, and more!
